About this experience
Discover on your own on an E-Fatbike the area where Vincent Van Gogh made a quarter of his works and experience for yourself the places he painted and sketched. In some places you literally 'walk' through the painting. You follow the route
This individual tour has been developed in collaboration with the Van Gogh Village museum (included) in Nuenen and you follow his footsteps in Eindhoven and Nuenen. Of course, the place where he made one of his most famous works 'The Potato Eaters' is not missing. You will also see the beautiful Van Gogh church opposite the place where he posted his letters to Theo.
You make this 35 km tour on a robust, urban and tough E-Fatbike. By using slow motion movements without applying force, you can reach a speed of up to 25 km per hour. Explore the area that Van Gogh loved so much using a web app as a guide. A driver's license and a helmet are not necessary, but some cycling experience is recommended.
